Falafel (Arabic: فلافل‎ falaafil (help·info), Hebrew: פָלָאפֶל‎; also known in Egypt and Sudan as ta'meya, Arabic طعمية), is a fried ball or patty made from spiced fava beans and/or chickpeas. It is a popular form of fast food in the Middle East, where it is also served as a mezze (snack or tapas). The word "falafel" is the plural of the Arabic word فلفل (filfil), meaning pepper.[1] Variant spellings in English include felafel and filafil.

Falafel is usually served as a sandwich wrapped in pita bread, and outside the Middle East, the term "falafel" commonly refers to this sandwich—falafel in a pita is typical street food or fast food. Along with the falafel balls, which may be crushed onto the bread or added whole, topping variations are usually included. Falafel balls may also be eaten alone as a snack or served as part of a mezze. During Ramadan they are sometimes eaten as part of an iftar, the meal which breaks the daily fast after sunset.

That's Vegetarian - Baked Falafel

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/55OIN1CLHpo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Falafel is a grand vegetarian staple. It can be super delectable or super greasy! I choose super delectable!

I bake my falafel and make into patties instead of balls to lower the amount of oil needed, ergo less calories and fat. Some restaurants will saute the falafel in oil instead of the more common deep frying. Add lots of extras such as hummus (check out our previous TVeg recipe see below), tomato, spinach, and peppers to the pita or sandwich to make it a great filling meal. Falafel is usually made with chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans and cece beans) but can also be made with fava beans. Don't waste your time with a prepackaged mix. This is a an easy dish to prepare!

Watch the video, print the recipe, prepare any one of the dishes and you'll find yourself saying "That's Vegetarian?!"
